Jazzthink

About the Book

Success is elusive. That's the conclusion a lot of people have come to. When one dream of success is realized, another takes shape on a distant horizon. Our thinking about success is often driven by what we don't have. It's driven by an obsessive striving for something more, something out there, something that never seems to come.

Jazzthink: Playing with the Stuff of Success is not another set of rules for achieving that kind of success. It takes you within, to the true source of your successes. It encourages you to play with the unique talents of your brilliance.

Jazzthink: Playing with the Stuff of Success focuses on the basic elements of deeply satisfying success that we already enjoy. It invites you to grow down into your true genius and find success in expressing your unique brilliance.

Jazzthink: Playing with the Stuff of Success provokes you to think differently. It challenges you to imagine contributing your unique talents to a great jazz performance. It deals with genius, audiences, confidence, core charts, performance, focus and appreciation. These are the seven basic elements of deeply satisfying success. You find them deep within, itching to be expressed.

And the result in your everyday life is sheer delight.
